Title:A Scienceographic Comparison of Physics Papers from the arXiv and viXra Archives

Abstract: arXiv is an e-print repository of papers in physics, computer science, and
biology, amongst others. viXra is a newer repository of e-prints on similar
topics. Scienceography is the study of the writing of science. In this work we
perform a scienceographic comparison of a selection of papers from the physics
section of each archive. We provide the first study of the viXra archive and
describe key differences on how science is written by these communities.
